Wilkinson Eyre has revealed these images of a new cultural centre planned for Milan, Italy, in collaboration with human-rights charity Amnesty International.

The scheme will include an IT resource centre, exhibition spaces, an auditorium, conference spaces, offices, retail spaces and a café, and will act as an educational and cultural centre focusing on the defence of human rights.
